Are you craving sun, sea and sandy beaches? You’re in luck: we have put together a list of 10 magical destinations where you can combine the charms of the city with a refreshing swim.
Dubrovnik absolutely deserves its nickname ‘Pearl of the Adriatic Sea’, The old city centre is a UNESCO’s World Heritage Site and a stroll through the city gates is almost like stepping onto a movie set. Ready to cool off after a hot summer day? The harbour city is surrounded by multiple beaches, with Banje being the most popular.
In the ‘heel’ of Italy’s boot lies the lovely region of Puglia, where you’ll find the port city of Brindisi. By day, swim in the blue waters of the Adriatic Sea and admire the famous Trulli houses (iconic limestone houses with conical roofs). At night, grab a seat on a patio and savour a delicious seafood pasta dish. Can't get enough of that azure water? Take a daytrip to Salento and spread your beach towel on one of the peninsula’s many idyllic beaches.
Not a beach holiday after all? No problem! We've also rounded up the best city breaks, mountain destinations, and summer destinations for you. What are you going for?
